why are there so many weirdos on the 10:00 G line
this is directed towards you, hollister-y couple sitting in front of me on the bus. i can see you. i'm standing facing you. i totally noticed when you pointed, laughed, and verbally ridiculed my boots after i got on. notice how I hadn't put my earbuds in yet because i had to run to catch the bus. then i had to stand and watch as the both of you whispered sweet nothings into each other's ears, giggle like schoolgirls, and kiss each other on the cheek the entire way to campus. seriously. i started to count and you couldn't go more than 20 seconds before having to lean over and peck your airhead girlfriend on the cheek.

that is the last thing i want to see after pulling an all-nighter (while sick) to get a paper done (that i haven't been working on due to my honors thesis taking over my life) before class. i'm sure fellow bus riders were similarly disgusted.

at least I didn't have to deal with the girl with the gigantic neon backpack this time.

it literally gives off a faint glow.

EDIT: Yes my boots are ridiculous. Yes that girl's backpack is ridiculous. I am calling out that couple for acting as if I couldn't hear them despite the fact I was standing directly in front of them. i.e. the stupidity of their actions, not the criticism. Trust me, I've gotten plenty of comments before, on much more ridiculous clothing.

Oh man, there's this one couple I keep running into on the G-Line that does the exact same thing. It's especially annoying when they sit right in front of me and keep kissing each other ever 5 seconds........especially when I don't have my Nintendo DS on me to distract me from your PDAs......

And I like those boots. They're cute! I could never wear them, but they're just losers for bashing those. D: Is Sugar an American brand? Cuz I see those when I go over to Hong Kong.

it's prolly the same couple.

Sugar is American, they also make the infamous "floaties" sandals. Their site is allegedly under construction. . .

Wouldn't be surprised.....the guy is white and the girl is white-washed asian......yes, I've seen them that much to correctly label them as such *face palm*

Oh really? Hm, that's why I could only find them in the nice department stores there......:D Ooooo, I like the boots *goes to shop*

......*sigh* I have no money......

A) If you wear weird clothes, people are going to make fun of you. Suck it up or don't wear it.
B) You sound bitter, jealous and lonely. Get over it.
C) You stand around taking pictures of people at bus stops? Do you realize just how creepy that makes you?

A) Hahaha you're talking to someone who goes to SF on weekends in full gothic lolita, trust me I am used to the comments, but they are usually made either in some sort of disguised manner behind my back or directly to me. These two were openly making fun as if I wasn't standing right there. i.e. acting like complete idiots.
B) Do you like incessant giggling?
C) Yep I'm a creeper. Cuz no one has ever snuck a cell phone picture of anything before. Next I'll be taking upskirt pictures! OH NOES WATCH OUT BUS STOP!

I've been with my boyfriend for a year and a half...we never do shit like that and even I find it kind of disgusting to have to watch. Having to watch couples in the honeymoon phase is not something I want first thing in the morning. Heaven forbid this isn't the honeymoon phase and it's just the way they are. Personally, I'm convinced that relationships like that don't even last for more than a few months anyway. Guess we G-liners will only have to deal with it for a short while before it ends.

The first part I can understand your pain, that is kinda asshole-ish of them. But the second portion of your post about the girl's backpack is kinda harsh. What if she was on UCDLJ??

idk, I feel like if you don't like them pointing and giggling at your boots, you probably shouldn't ridicule her backpack :\

You're still a hypocrite.

You're angry at them for mocking you to your face because of something you wore.

Yet you are mocking and posting a picture of this girl with a neon backpack - yet she might be an LJ user or a friend of her's might be an LJ user. They thought you wouldn't notice; you assume that girl will never see this post. It's the same thing. You're doing what they did to you to this other girl.

You're no better than the hollister scum you despise.

It's called the FOB fashion sense. They love to wear mismatched shit like this. Go to the Old Tea House on a regular weekday and you'll see the same shit. Mostly on the Cantonese speaking crowd.

so you're complaining about how people made fun of your boots, but then you're making fun of someone else's backpack? what the couple did and what you're doing both seem uncool.

Hey--I still feel like an outsider here in Davis, so I'll give you my "outsider" perspective:

Speak up.

It's obvious you felt strongly about this such that you took the time to post it... What I've noticed is 99% of the kids here [in Davis] don't have the ability to speak up for themselves, no matter what. A simple, "Excuse me?" would have sufficed (though I would have said, "I'm not deaf, you motherfuckers" or something like that

:)

P.S. Since 99% won't speak up for themselves, they definitely wouldn't have the balls to say anything back to you. The first person to show a spine wins the race.

Technically no, if they had addressed me directly then yeah I would say they started something. But they were acting the whole time as if I couldn't hear them, which while could have been their passive-aggressive way of starting something, just made them look obliviously stupid to me. *shrugs*

• two people on the bus who cant keep their hands off each other
• one person with an awesome backpack
• someone else with cool boots decides they had better complain on the internet about the couple making fun of her instead of just calling them out right there.

I only come to this journal about once every few months and every single time there is a ridiculous post from you. Each time you make some bold/stupid/hypocritical statement and then when everyone calls you out on it you go "Oh, what I wrote is actually not what I meant, I meant this other thing that doesn't make any sense."

Let me spell it out for you: you're mad because someone passive-aggressively insulted you and now you're making fun of them (and a completely unrelated person) in a UCD livejournal?
